Hey fellas heres a quick update I cut the doors off the cab and added the sleeper passage to the back of the cab. Once the doors were off I added a small strip of styrene to close up the gap and make em air tight again enjoy.....

While I was reading your post, I got into an allergy triggered sneezing fit, and let me tell you, laughing and sneezing at the same time is interesting. Needless to say, the Kleenex box was diminished appreciably!

Romell, even though I'm not a truck modeler (the last one I built was in the mid 70's for my brother; the AMT "Movin' On" TV show Peterbilt issue,) this is a wild build, and I'm enjoying your scratch building. Looking forward to seeing how you light it up.

I know exactly what you went thru Jim as I had a allergy triggered sneeze attack right before I made this reply, 20 sneezes in a row is no fun when tryin to have fun reading a funny comment. Thx for the compliments fellas and I think you owe Jim and I a box of Kleenex Wayne

I'm really enjoying watching this come together. You are a very versatile builder... shiny, dingy... supersized...

Hey thx Rick and youre correct on one point I am a lil dingy for even attempting this build LOL! thx for the compliment bro!

herea a small update fellas I added the door trim to the cab because it wasnt very defined in the resin. I used Evergreen styrene strips to handle this job...





you probably cant see it but the strip is added here and goes around the door its just a subtle detail


heres the cab in primer

I like what you have done so far. I think hat the fabrication/scratch building is the best part of any build.

I totally agree with you Will

Unbelieveable work on this one, but then that's what we have come to expect.

What type of fuel tanks do you plan on using?You didn't answer my prior question.!BTW great work on the wrecker!

[Agent G]

I will be more than happy to provide Kleenex, provided I am continued to be allowed to view this spectacle of a build.
